title: Effects of sleep deprivation on the activity of selected metabolic enzymes in skeletal muscle.
abstract: The effect of 120-h sleep deprivation on the activity of selected enzymes of energy metabolism in skeletal muscle was studied in seven healthy volunteers. The results showed a significant decrease in the activity of malate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase. Triosephosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase, and hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase activities showed an insignificant decrease. The findings are indicative of (1) decreased aerobic oxidation capacity; (2) reduced function of reducing-equivalent carriers from cytosol across the mitochondrial membrane; (3) relative accentuation of the non-aerobic glycolytic pathway; (4) a prediabetic type of muscle metabolism.
